The immensity of our prison population is obscene. Unfortunately, most of the time most of the media is wholly oblivious to it. For example, New York's senior Senator, the personification of bourgeois liberalism, Chuck Schumer, always sings the praises of the middle class, a group whom he contends includes parasites making 400,000 a year. And when he isn't protecting people who make 200 to 400 thou a year, he is protecting the billionaire managers of hedge funds whose income is taxed at the lower capitals gains tax rate. And he is considered a "liberal." And what has he done for poverty stricken souls languishing in dank, rat-infested, rape-ridden jails whose lives are slowly but surely being extinguished.
What has he and his vulgar Congressional ilk done? Absolutely nothing. A pox on all of them.
